Chapter 813: Patrol (Part II)
Although it is indeed a very effective means for the ruler to inspect the people's situation - even if it is a complete show, many people will take it seriously, not to mention that Luo Ming did not tell anyone where he was at all this time, did not give them a chance to prepare for it, and it was completely a surprise inspection.
But according to common sense, Luo Ming shouldn't have done that.
As a ruler, wandering around with little or no retinue is almost foolishness in itself.
As for the private interview of Weifu or something, it is just a matter of an official doing this, and the real ruler is playing like this, I am afraid that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will have to stop him from going out when he cries and shouts.
Of course, this is not simply the fear that the sovereign will go down to the grassroots level to see the real situation and then get angry.
A ruler with a level will not be completely unaware that there will be people who will disobey the yin and yin, and will not simply make things biggerβeven if they find that someone is disobedient, they can warn them in private and let them remedy it quickly in a cold sweat.
After all, if you don't play cards according to the rules, you will make a big deal at every turn, and the courtiers have to be worried every day, not to mention doing their best for the monarch, maybe they will run away, resign or simply kill the monarch and replace the people to keep the peace.
In fact, the rise and fall of all courtiers depends almost entirely on the monarch, and this is the point.
If the lord lives well, the power can continue to be stable, and even prosperous, and the courtiers can enjoy peace and prosperity - in a thriving force, even if there is no enterprising spirit, as long as there is no mistake, the seniority can be improved step by step.
And if the lord goes out to wave, if something happens, then the whole world (or the scope of the rule) will be shaken fiercely.
At worst, there will be a huge political turmoil, and the courtiers will be implicated, or at worst, the foundation of the country will be shaken, and the country will die, and most of the courtiers will not be able to escape as parasites who can only gain a powerful position by attaching themselves to the regime.
Although under the feudal system, important ministers have their own fiefdom foundations, but they will also be greatly impacted.
Like Luo Ming, who has not yet left an heir, it is even more worrying for the retainers.
If he hadn't been young and strong, I'm afraid the courtiers would have started admonishing him a long time ago, asking him to get married and have a few children.
In fact, when Luo Ming's body was going to go to the empire before, most of the retainers didn't know that he had strong enemies in the empire, but they still had to let him bring a group of guards just in case.
If it weren't for Luo Ming and Granty, who were already super capable of fighting, and if they brought a group of masters, they would be regarded as ill-intentioned by the empire, and the territory would also become empty.
That is, Luo Ming is now traveling as a doppelganger, and the retainers can barely rest assured that he is so prodigal.

Now, Luo Ming is on his way to a new territory of his own.
During the Belan War, the lord of the area was treason and died in the war.
And the guy's eldest son also joined the rebels and was caught, so Luo Ming also relied on Princess Victoria's attitude of severely punishing betrayers, and directly imprisoned the eldest son, and as the acting county guard, he took most of his territory, leaving only a small piece of territory for the third son to inherit, and he also managed it until the other party became an adult.
When he got here, Luo Ming also somewhat understood why the unlucky ghost did not hesitate to rebel in the first place: this place is too poor.
